In June 1910, Scott set sail aboard the Terra Nova. On the way, he heard that Amundsen was also on his way to Antarctica. Left:
This Scott was photographed by Herbert Pontin, a member of the British Antarctic Expedition. Soon after, Pontin and a portion of his crew were ordered to return to base, leaving Scott and 10 of his companions to advance to the South Pole. On November 1, 1911, Scott's group left their campsite and headed for Antarctica.
Blizzards make travel difficult. Therefore, on January 3, 1912, Scott decided to take only four companions: Edward Wilson, Henry Powers, and Edgar Evans. On January 17, Scott and his party arrived at Antarctica.
However, Amundsen's Norwegian flag was already flying there. Deeply disappointed, they set out on their way home. Evans died from injuries sustained in a fall; Oates suffered from severe frostbite and did not want to bother others, so he disappeared in a snowstorm.
The remaining 3 people had to camp to escape the bad weather. But on March 29, Scott and all three others died a few kilometers away from their camping base. Details of Scott's last trip are known, as his diary was recorded up to the last day.
In November 1912, a search team found the diary, as well as the bodies of Scott and three others. The bodies of the three people were buried on the spot and are now deep under the Antarctic ice. Oates' body was never found.

In order to prepare for future expeditions. He studied meteorology.
In 1905, at the age of 25, Wegener received a doctorate in meteorology. In 1906, he finally fulfilled his boyhood ambitions and joined the famous Danish expedition to Greenland, where he conducted meteorological and glacial surveys. In order to find more evidence, in April 1930, Wegener led an expedition to Greenland for the fourth time in the face of the Arctic blizzard, and in the freezing cold of minus 65, most of them lost their courage, only he and two other followers continued to advance, and finally triumphantly reached the central base of Eschmit.
On November 1, he ventured back to the West Coast base after celebrating his 50th birthday. In the white ice and snow, he lost his trace. His body was not found until April of the following year.
He froze like a stone and became one with the glacier.

On January 18, Scott and his entourage reached the South Pole. However, Amundsen's Norwegian flag was already flying there. Deeply disappointed, they set out on their way home.
Evans died of a mental disorder; Oates suffered from severe frostbite and asked to go out for a walk because he didn't want to bother others, and in this environment, he would only die in the sub-zero cold wind, but no one stopped him. The remaining 3 people had to camp to escape the bad weather. But the bad weather showed no end, and finally on March 29, Scott and three others died a few kilometers away from their camping base.
Xinhuanet, 14 September 2001 -- A scientist from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently released a new book. The new book argues that the failure of the Antarctic expedition by the Briton Robert Falken Scott nearly 90 years ago was not due to Scott's poor decision-making, but to the vagaries of cold weather.
Previous commentators have always said that it was Scott's decision-making error that led him and his four teammates to finally take the Yellow Springs Road after a 1,450-kilometre trek on the Antarctic expedition with the equipment pulled by a sled. But in this month's book, "The Coldest March," author Susan Solomon says that the winter of 1911 and 1912, when the weeks of lows of -37 degrees Celsius were much colder than usual, disrupted Scott's well-researched expeditions.
17 January 1911, England.
The expedition led by explorer Scott reached the South Pole, and the entire expedition was killed on the way home. As early as two or three thousand years ago, there was speculation that there was an unknown continent in the south. In search of this mysterious land, countless warriors have traveled south. >>>More
